Raila Odinga's ex-advisor, lawyer Miguna Miguna accused ODM leader Raila Odinga of influencing the arrest of former Nairobi Governor Evans in order to settle political scores.
The controversial lawyer argued that Raila was worried over a possibility of Kidero taking over as the Luo defacto leader in future which would be consigning the Odinga dynasty to political oblivion.
"Evans Kidero and Okoth Obado have been charged because Raila Odinga consider them potential threats to a theocratic Luo state headed by Odinga zombies," Miguna wrote on his Facebook page.
Miguna opined that the arrests executed by the state were not targeting thieves but meant to cripple people who were a threat to the political ambitions of families of certain individuals.In his view, leaders and prominent politicians adversely mentioned in graft cases would have also been arrested if the exercise was foolproof."If their arrests were targeting thieves then Moi, Njonjo, Kirubi, Muhoho, Wainaina, Waiguru, Joho, Sonko, Okemo, Gichuru, Mutua, Lusaka, Oparanya and others would also have been charged," argued Miguna.He clarified that he was not opposed to the prosecution of Kidero and the likes of Migori Governor Okoth Obado, but skewed prosecutions carried out by the state.Kidero, alongside 16 others, was arrested by EACC detectives on Friday over Sh68 million scandal.They will spend the weekend at Kilimani Police Station.
